I can give you the company colours for Ultra Marines. These come from the
40k Ultramarines Codex, p.19:

1st (veteran) - 20 Terminators or 10 Veterans - White
2nd - 6 Tac, 2 Ass, 2 Dev - Yellow (popular with GW for some reason)
3rd - 6 Tac, 2 Ass, 2 Dev - Red
4th - 6 Tac, 2 Ass, 2 Dev - Green
5th - 6 Tac, 2 Ass, 2 Dev - Black (this is the one I am building)
6th - 10 Tac - Orange
7th - 10 Tac - Pink/Red (hard to tell)
8th - 10 Ass - Grey
9th - 10 Dev - Blue
10th (scout) - Scouts - White

These colours will normally appear as trim around the shoulder pads and as
other things like banners and badges. I guess it depends how strong your
magnifying glass is!

Also listed was the support appropriate for each company, although it does
not really list Epic Vehicles (Razorbacks, Predators etc) so I did not write
it here.

Hope this helps
